- Abstract
- Isolated Aspergillus infection originating within the sphenoid sinus is most often associated with the immunocompromised patient. A 53-year-old healthy woman presented with a 3-week history of headache and subsequent left 6th nerve palsy. Brain MRI demonstrated a space-occupying lesion within sphenoid sinus. Histological analysis through transnasal-transsphenoidal approach revealed numerous Aspergillus hyphae. Postoperatively, all symptoms resolved completely without anti-fungal treatment. Isolated Aspergillus sphenoid sinusitis should be routinely included in the differential diagnosis of patients with acute or subacute headache, even in nonimmunosuppressed patients.KeyWords:Aspergillosis, Sphenoid sinus, Isolated sphenoiditis
